Gu Yu

Early autumn.

It's back-to-school season again, and students are stepping into the school gates with bright hopes for the future.

Chen Shengxu was a day student. After completing the enrollment procedures, he dragged his junior high school friend Yu Cihuan to visit the school.

"Hey, I'm still really curious, how did you confess your feelings? How did Gu Yu agree to be with you?"

Chen Shengxu recalled the scene from that day.

The weather that day was terrible; the wind was so strong it felt like it could blow you away.

He stood under the camphor tree at the school gate, waiting for Gu Yu.

He kept staring at the bus stop across the street. He saw it as soon as Gu Yu got off the bus and never looked away.

Watching that figure swaying in the wind, looking like it was about to fall to the ground, he regretted choosing such a terrible time to confess his feelings.

He had originally imagined a gentle breeze ruffling Gu Yu's hair, and then he would go and cut someone's hair, which would then create a wonderful atmosphere.

Instead of this kind of strong wind that could blow people away.

He ran to the traffic lights and waited for the girl to come.

Gu Yu crossed the road. Her eyes were squinting from the wind, and her face was scrunched up, but she still looked up at the person in front of her and asked, "Should we say it here?"

"No, no, it's too windy here. Let's go somewhere calm."

"good."

Gu Yu then followed Chen Shengxu.

She saw Chen Shengxu across the street, holding a small bouquet of champagne roses, which looked very beautiful.

When Chen Shengxu asked her out, she already knew what he wanted to do and had already thought of her answer.

Chen Shengxu took her to the public restroom, the only place that offered shelter from the wind.

"Chen Shengxu".

"ah?"

Gu Yu found Chen Shengxu's tense and alarmed demeanor amusing.

"Are you planning to confess your feelings to me outside the restroom?"

Chen Shengxu was startled, "How did you know I was going to confess my feelings?!"

Gu Yu pointed to the flowers in his hand.

Chen Shengxu was stunned for a while. After regaining his senses, his expression kept changing. Finally, he showed a firm look, took a step towards Gu Yu, held the flowers in his hands and handed them to her. He suddenly closed his eyes and said loudly, "Gu Yu, I like you. Be my girlfriend!" His voice was powerful and his momentum was overwhelming.

Gu Yu was amused by his commotion, then took the bouquet from the man's hand and said softly, "Okay."

Chen Shengxu opened his eyes, stared intently at Gu Yu, and then suddenly jumped up on the spot, accompanied by an excited shout.

"Gu Yu is my girlfriend!!! Gu Yu and I are together!!!"

Gu Yu was happy for him too, and only after Chen Shengxu calmed down did she speak: "I want to go home now, take me home."

"good!"

Chen Shengxu escorted the person to the entrance of the residential area before leaving.

She immediately told Yu Cihuan the news and kept talking to him about it for a long time, she was so excited.

Chen Sheng looked at Yu Cihuan smugly and said, "Maybe I'm too good, so Gu Yu can't resist me."

He was met with a glare.

Gu Yu from No. 3 Middle School was talking to a girl he met on the way. After chatting for a while, they found out they were classmates and became even closer, as if they were blood-related best friends.

Shang Nuo asked, "Are you a day student or a boarder?"

“I commute to school because my home is very close.”

"I live in a dormitory, and I was even thinking that maybe we'd be in the same dorm."

"We can be friends even if we don't live in the same dorm."

"Um!"

After learning that Gu Yu had a boyfriend, Shang Nuochu became very gossipy and asked her a series of questions, such as how she fell in love with him and how they got together.

"It was at the beginning of the first year of junior high school. Back then, we had to move our own desks. I lost my balance going up the stairs, and someone helped me up. That's how I fell in love with him."

"No way, it's that hasty?"

"No! Chen Shengxu is really a good person! He's good-looking, his grades aren't bad, he's ambitious, and he's incredibly kind to me!! He's an exceptionally good person."

"Okay, your boyfriend is the best."

"That's right."

"You liked him for three years before you got together."

“Actually, Chen Shengxu liked me for three years as well,” Gu Yu said softly. “Back then, we were in the same class. One time during lunch break, I woke up early and went to the bathroom to wash my face. When I came back, I heard him telling his friend that he liked me and wanted to confess to me. So I waited, and then I waited for three years.”

"Then why didn't you just talk to him clearly and get together directly?"

“Our school is very strict about early relationships, and my parents didn’t want me to date so early either. I was a little scared at the time, afraid of being found out, so I didn’t say anything.”

"So that's why he delayed confessing his feelings for three years?"

"Probably, but whatever the reason, it doesn't matter, we're together now!"

*

On the first day of school, everyone was busy with enrollment procedures, meal cards, water cards, and all sorts of other things.

The students didn't gather in the classroom until 7 p.m. to meet with their teacher.

After the teacher introduced himself, he explained some rules, the school's schedule, and the details of the military training. He then let them sit for a while before letting them go back to rest.

Chen Shengxu and Yu Cihuan went home together.

On the way, Chen Shengxu sent a message to Gu Yu, but received no reply, probably because she hadn't finished with her end yet.

He joked and played around with Yu Cihuan along the way.

When he got home, there was no one there, just like before. He was used to it. After washing up, he lay in bed waiting for news from his girlfriend.

Someone who had saved his contact as "Mengmeng" sent him a picture of the school's schedule.

Incredibly handsome: [You get out of school later than me, so I'll pick you up from school and take you home from now on.]

Mengmeng: [Okay.]

The young couple chatted casually for a while, and then said goodnight to each other at 11 p.m.

The next day they began military training.

At lunchtime, when No. 3 Middle School let out, a boy in camouflage stood at the school gate with his bicycle next to him.

After Gu Yu came out, he walked over to him and said, "You look so handsome!"

Chen Shengxu immediately became proud, and his smug expression was impossible to hide.

With a long stride, she sat on the bicycle and said to Gu Yu, "Princess, please get on the bike."

Gu Yu couldn't help but laugh. He sat on the back of the bicycle and wrapped his arms around the waist of the person riding it.

Are you seated?

"Um."

Chen Shengxu pushed off on his bicycle and rode forward.

Gu Yu touched Chen Shengxu's flat stomach through her clothes. There was no excess fat on her stomach, but it was soft and felt very nice. She liked it very much.

What did you practice today?

"I stood at attention all day."

Are you tired?

Chen Shengxu pouted, "I'm so tired! I'm completely exhausted! You have to take good care of me~"

"You've worked hard~" Gu Yu patted him on the back and massaged his shoulders.

"Remember to apply sunscreen during your military training tomorrow, and bring it with you. Reapply it whenever you have a chance, so you don't get sunburned."

"good."

Gu Yu looked at the back of the boy's neck, "Chen Shengxu."

"What's wrong?"

"I really like you."

These words were blown away by the wind, dissolved into the air, and shattered on Chen Shengxu's body.

*

At the entrance of the residential area, Chen Shengxu didn't rush home. He waited until he could no longer see Gu Yu before riding his bike home.

My mind was filled with that sweet phrase, and I was overjoyed. I even had energy to ride my bike, humming a cheerful tune all the way.

During military training, whenever Chen Shengxu came to pick up Gu Yu, he would take out wet wipes from his pocket and wipe Gu Yu's face to make her feel more comfortable.

Every time, Gu Yu would be like a good boy, standing obediently with her face tilted back so that Chen Shengxu could wipe her face. After each time, she would say, "My boyfriend is so good to me, I love him so much."

I developed the habit of carrying wet wipes while watching Gu Yu in junior high school.

In the summer of junior high school, everyone tends to sweat a lot. Gu Yu felt that his face was sticky and uncomfortable, so he got into the habit of using wet wipes to wipe his face and would also share wet wipes with his classmates.

This incident was filmed by a classmate and posted in the class group chat the very first time it happened.

While everyone was shocked by Gu Yu's boyfriend's good looks, Shang Nuochu finally understood why Gu Yu liked Chen Shengxu so much.

He is very good to his girlfriend.

*

After military training, Gu Yu noticed that Chen Shengxu had gotten much darker.

She didn't even dare to recognize Chen Shengxu when he came to pick her up that day. If she hadn't seen that familiar bicycle, she wouldn't have gone over.

"Why are you so dark-skinned?"

Chen Shengxu touched his face. "Is it very dark?"

Gu Yu looked at him and nodded very seriously.

Is it ugly?

"A little."

He wasn't actually that ugly, but Gu Yu wanted to tease him.

"Ah—" Chen Shengxu's face fell immediately. "I've been tricked."

"Um?"

“Yu Cihuan said that girls like dark-skinned boys because they are manly, so I stopped wearing sunscreen for the next few days, thinking that if I got a darker tan, you would like me more.”

Gu Yu reached out and ruffled his face, "You're so cute!"

Chen Shengxu took her hand and hugged her around the waist. "I'll be able to get my skin white again soon, you can't dislike me~ Absolutely not, I won't be ugly anymore once I'm white again, you have to like me~"

"I'm so pitiful, I've been deceived. I'll never believe Yu Cihuan's lies again. I'm not pretty anymore~ Gu Yu, I'm so sad~ Please comfort me~ Comfort me~" He said, swaying as he spoke.

Gu Yu raised his hand and patted his back. "I don't mind you. I'll love you no matter what. I'll help you scold him. How could I let you down? He's no good. He's not even half as good-looking as you are now."

"Mmm-hmm-hmm."

Just a few steps away from them, Yu Cihuan listened to their conversation while holding his bicycle. He glanced at the homework Chen Shengxu had forgotten in his hand, decisively stuffed it into his schoolbag, and then pedaled home.

"Anyway, I'm not good enough. Just wait to get scolded tomorrow, Chen Shengxu. I'll make you so angry."

That evening, Yu Cihuan received a message from Gu Yu telling him not to give Chen Shengxu any bad advice, and he also received a chaotic and incoherent rant from Chen Shengxu.

"They really are a perfect match."

*

As expected, the next day Chen Shengxu had to stand at the back because he hadn't done his homework, and Yu Cihuan chuckled to himself in his seat.

get out of class dismissed.

"Yu Cihuan, have you seen my workbook?" Chen Shengxu buried his head in his desk, rummaging through it. "Check if it's there. Maybe it's mixed in with your book?"

"It's with me."

Chen Shengxu took the workbook and started doing his homework.

Yu Cihuan seemed to need to be disciplined, and insisted on revealing what he had done: "Yesterday I went to the Third Middle School to deliver your homework."

Chen Shengxu looked up at him with a puzzled expression.

“But when I heard you and Gu Yu talking about me, I turned around and didn’t give it to you.”

"You fucking bastard!"

Yu Cihuan jumped up from his seat and ran outside.

"Yu Cihuan! You bastard! Stop right there! I'll beat you to death!"

"You bastard! You turned me into a black mudfish, and then made me stand for a whole class for nothing! You're already at No. 3 Middle School and you still won't give it to me, are you sick in the head! Stand there!"

"I won't give it to you, just to annoy you! I'll make you stand there as punishment! Hehehe... Come on, chase me! Come on, come on!"

"Aaaaaah!! I'll stab you!!"

They chased each other, circling around the classroom, neither able to catch the other. Finally, they stood panting, staring at each other, neither making a move.

Yu Cihuan spoke first: "I'm sorry, I apologize to you, let's make peace." He was still panting as he spoke, clearly exhausted.

"Okay, I accept."

The bell rang just as he finished speaking.

In order to whiten his skin faster, Chen Shengxu even ordered whitening products. He didn't know if they would work or not, but he bought them anyway. His initial intention was simply to get his skin whiter as soon as possible.

After school in the evening, he would ride his bicycle to the Third Middle School and wait at the school gate for the students to be dismissed.

During this time, Chen Shengxu saw a boy holding a bouquet of flowers, presumably for his girlfriend. He thought to himself, "How romantic! I'll bring flowers to pick up Gu Yu next time."

The bell rang, and Chen Shengxu stood up straight and craned his neck to look inside the school.

I didn't see Gu Yu, but I did see the boy with the flowers give them to another boy and then leave.

Huh?

While I was thinking, I saw the boy who received the flowers walk straight to his girlfriend. My eyes widened instantly, and I followed him, ignoring the bicycle that had fallen over.

As soon as I arrived, I heard the boy say, "Gu Yu, I like you. Can we be together?"

"No way!" Chen Shengxu straightened his back, stood up straight, and looked at the boy. "Brother, this is my girlfriend."

Gu Yu thought Chen Shengxu looked pretty cool when he said that, so he stepped forward, reached out and tugged at Chen Shengxu, making him move aside.

"As you can see, this is my boyfriend. I'm sorry."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know!" the boy said and ran away.

Chen Shengxu pulled Gu Yu's wrist and walked away.

After picking up the bicycle, Gu Yu sat down and left.

"Chen Shengxu, you were so cool just now!"

“I think so too!” Chen Shengxu said with a smirk.

He told Gu Yu everything he had seen and thought.

"I was still wondering what was going on when I saw him walking towards you!"

Are you angry?

"No, I'm actually quite happy that you're liked by someone."

"Why?"

“It means you’re really great. Someone can see your good qualities. Why shouldn’t I be happy if someone thinks my girlfriend is great?” Chen Shengxu said. “But I’m still jealous. That brat has great taste.”

"What a pity~ The person he likes is my girlfriend! Gu Yu likes me, hehehe~" He said in a smug tone.

Gu Yu, sitting in the back seat, also smiled and said, "Gu Yu likes you the most!"

For some unknown reason, Chen Shengxu suddenly yelled, startling Gu Yu.

What are you doing?

"I'm so happy!"

"I give up."

The next day at noon, Gu Yu saw Chen Shengxu holding a red rose at the school gate.

She took the flowers and smiled, "Why are you suddenly sending me flowers?"

"I'm afraid someone will try to tempt you with flowers."

"I'm not stupid, I wouldn't be fooled by flowers."

"Then I'll try my best to trick you with flowers."

Gu Yu happily pinched Chen Shengxu's cheek.

"I'm very happy, and I really like the flowers you gave me."

"It will be available every day from now on."

"Really?"

"Of course, I wouldn't lie to you."

"good!"

On the way, Gu Yu took photos and posted them on his social media with the caption: "Given to me by my boyfriend, it's super pretty!"

Yu Cihuan saw it and commented: "Is the flower prettier or Chen Shengxu prettier?" (Sleazy emoji)

Cute Bunny: Chen Shengxu is the best looking!

Fish replied to Cute Bunny: I'm impressed by you two, you two lovebirds.

Chen Shengxu only saw the post after returning home and commented: "Kiss.jpg"

Gu Yu replied with a kiss emoji.

Then Gu Yu saw that there was one more comment.

The incredibly handsome guy replied to the fish: I give up on you, you single dog.

Gu Yu: "What is Chen Shengxu doing? Yu Cihuan must be furious."

She was right. Yu Cihuan sent Chen Shengxu several voice messages, each over thirty seconds long, but Chen Shengxu didn't open any of them.

He was busy maintaining his relationship with his girlfriend.
